Magnetic Fields as a Form of Energy Medicine
When the body, which is very magnetically active, interacts with specific medically designed magnetic fields, tiny therapeutically beneficial electric charges are generated. What does mean to you? Magnetic fields as a form of energy medicine will be used more and more in the future to heal problems that medicines can't or haven't been able to do.

COLUMNS FROM THE EXPERTS
The Healer Within
When an individual purposefully seeks a state of deep relaxation, a number of very important physiological mechanisms are triggered. Inducing the relaxation response can resolve or balance the effects of over activity or stress in the body. In "Relaxation Practices" Dr. Roger Jahnke explains very simplified but highly effective techniques of progressive relaxation.
Mind Over Matter
A child frequently complains "My tummy hurts and I can?t get back to sleep." This condition, called "recurrent abdominal pain" (RAP), is extraordinarily difficult to diagnose and treat, and often evolves into an ongoing source of frustration for kids, their parents and physicians. In "My Tummy Hurts: A New Elixir for a Frustrating Problem" Barry Bittman, M.D. looks at the role that stress may play in this condition and outlines stress reduction options.
Understanding Homeopathy
Homeopathic medicines are often effective in treating measles, though medical attention should also be sought due to the possibility of complications from this disease. In "Measles" Dana Ullman, M.P.H. presents nine specific homeopathic remedies and explains how each can assist according to the stage and severity of a case of measles.
